Planner Sticker Haul & Plan With Me!


I have been totally obsessed with my planner and decorating it. I never imagined all the fun stuff there was for planner enthusiasts like me. I must say Etsy is a great place to find anything and everything planner related.

I have had my Erin Condren Life Planner for almost a year now. check out the review I wrote on it here:  Erin Condren Life Planner Review

I had stopped using it for a few months around the beginning of the summer. I don't really remember why. But after being influenced by some of my favorite Youtubers like Elle Fowler, Jen from Pretty Neat Living, and Meg from Ciaoobelllaxo to start planning and decorating, I was hooked again.
Before I discovered these stickers, I had just been using colored pens. I would just write in my planner and have everything color coordinated. Now I have a super fun way of keeping track of what I have to do. This is also quite therapeutic and stress relieving.

I did all my sticker shopping on Esty.com. This is a great place to get stickers that are hand made and there are so many creative options. Some etsy shop owners even personalize stickers for you.
The shops that I places my first orders from where:

Sweet Bean Plans
Stickers By Sandy
The Pretty Planner
Vintage Gypsy Road
Two Lil' Bees

(I'm still waiting for stickers from Vintage Gypsy Road and Two Lil' Bees. I'll haul those with my next order.)

I think I'm in love! These stickers are just so cute! I really am itching to place another huge order soon. These are just so fun, and I have been really enjoying planning and decorating my planner.

Starting off with Sweet Bean Plans, I loved these stickers. And I especially loved the super fast shipping! I got these less than a week after ordering them. I was also really impressed with the extras I received with my order, I was definitely not expecting it, but she gave me a whole sheet of stickers!
These are the stickers I ordered:
 
These are the stickers that were extra:

My next order was from Stickers by Sandy. I got these fun social media stickers and also these dollar signs.


From The Pretty Planner I ordered these tiny stickers that have cute mini versions of stethoscopes, gas pumps and grocery carts in a bunch of colors. The Pretty Planner also included a super cute fall themed thank you sheet.



I also wanted to share my spread for the week I started using my new stickers. Here is what my planner looked like last week, before I got my stickers. Like I said, I would just use pens to color coordinate my tasks. I think that this just looks a little boring.



I still use the same color coordination but now I also include the stickers. I think the planer spread looks way more fun this week. I really enjoy using the stickers to keep track of and plan my days a little better.

I hope that you enjoyed this little sticker haul and a look at my planner now that I'm using these little stickers. I cant wait to start sharing my weekly spreads with you guys. Let me know what Etsy shop is your favorite for planner stickers!

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Erin Condren Life Planner Review



I am so excited to be talking about my new Life Planner from Erin Condren! I have been watching reviews on YouTube for a while now on these planners, and I finally decided to treat myself and order one.
So to start I got my planner off the Erin Condren website. I also bought a few add on's that I'll get into later on, and the total for everything I got was about $60 (including shipping.) 

The first person I saw talking about this planner was Jen from OrganizedJen.com early last year. I really appreciated how in-depth Jen went into reviewing the planner. Then she posted about the new planner she got from EC and it reminded me how much I missed having a planner. I was then sucked in completely when Elle Fowler talked about her planner on her blog Dreaming in Blush

So I ordered my planner at the tail end of January and I got it in February. I was super impressed by how pretty it is! I have been wishing for Spring so I got a really fun and bright print on the cover and I also had them personalize it with my name. 
This planner is giving me life right now! I love how bright and colorful it is on the inside. Every page is so cute and fun to look at. I hardly wanted to start writing in it because its so pretty. I really enjoy the month on 2 pages. There is more than enough space to write in and it also has a notes section in the month on 2 pages view.
The week on 2 pages is perfect! It is divided by "morning," "day" and "night." and it has a ton of space for notes around the week outline.
This planner can work for you, whatever you need it for I think that it would be great. It has a great little section in the back with lined paper for notes and such. It also comes with blank stickers and stickers that have things written on them already. It comes with a little clear pouch in the back where I keep my pencils and pens. 

This planner was definitely well worth the money and I recommend it to anyone that loves to write and plan things out.

I have had the planner now for a month and I have used it every single day. I love having a place where I can organize all my thoughts and plans for the upcoming week. I also like to keep track of my school and work hours on my planner. It keeps me organized and it also helps me stay on track and not forget things that need to get done.

From the website I also ordered and extra ruler/book mark, I got some extra blank stickers, and perpetual calender. I really love having two book marks. I keep one in the week I am currently in, and I keep the other one in the back of the book in the lined paper section, where I write notes about my blog.

I really have been loving my planner. I highly recommend it to people that love writing things out and using a planner. If you know that you won't keep up with it, or you get bored easily, then I suggest you don't spend the money.
